Come come we know the worst on 't let them go we will never want great matches yet let us think now to be revenged on them villains Cassio and Leonardo the first time I meet any of them I will cut the tongue out of their heads that they shall never talk more Bec. I so will I too but we must have Manduco with us then for he will make them stand in awe of him Exeunt Scaena Tertia Enter Marciano solus as at Pisa. THat she 's escap'd that I know certainly So letters from Siena have inform'd me But by what means or where she is I know not Never remembers him who if he should Forget her but one hour would think he had Offended highly yet she 's silent still If I receive no letters from her shortly I 'le become jealous of her sure that she Who was all love is now so quickly cold In her affections But what I blaspheme The vertuous Arabella she 's all vertue And cannot prove unconstant Now let me meditate on what my Prince Hath order'd me to do He 's still the same And bears a mind that floats above the waves Of all adversities as who should say Fortune even do thy worst His Counsellours Like to wise Marriners affray'd to stretch The top sayles of their courage in this tempest Least both they and their Prince should suffer shipwrack Only was I commanded some years since Upon an expedition to Siena Encourag'd by th'affectionate expressions And actions of the valiant Cassanaeo And others of our loyal country-men But fortune crush'd our enterprises so I did return to Savoy where my Prince Did then reside and now I am commanded To second here an enterprise at Pisa Which whether it succeed or not my duty Is yet at least to prosecute it A post-horn sounds within How 's this a post-horn good Enter Strenuo with a Letter Str. All 's well my Lord now do our joyes begin To flourish after such a tedious winter The Duk 's restor'd and now intends at Florence Here here 's a letter for it from himself Marc. Restor'd Nay hold my heart I 'l read this letter reads True True O fortune how I hugge thee now And thou my good friend Strenuo embraces him Str. Brave dayes my Lord the Court does fill apace The Ladies croud in throngs the glory of Her sex your darling the fair Arabella Since clouds of melancholly are overblown Does now appear in loves full horizon Marc. O how propitious lend me moderation Reins to my joy as well as to my sorrow Else I shall quickly burst to death this bless'd And unexpected Tarantula of news So ticles all my senses joyfull tidings My Prince restor'd my dearest Arabella At Court I now my felicity lacks nothing But sight to be compleat that my eyes may Perswade my yet almost incredulous soul To what my fancy never durst have prompted To horse To horse I 'le post to Florence quickly Exit post-horn sounds Scaena Quarta Enter Pantaloni Becabunga and Manduco with swords by their sides Man O Tempora O mores O the effraenate licentious perversity of untamed adolescency what a villanous scelerate attempt to entice two young Gentlemen to a Duel who besides that they are both innocent Boyes why their very Uncles and other friends are employed in serious negotiations of the Senate Prob Deum atque hominum fidem Is all my industry in sollicitation my immense study and lucrubrations for framing familiar epistles my oratory in private commendations and exhortations for both these Gentlemen come to nought Proh facinus ingens Pant. Peace Mr. Manduco you must not only teach us how to beat but likewise assist us in beating these dissolute fellows for I have sworn Sir and that is enough Bec. I so I say too for you know we wear our swords here for no other end look you are not my hilts very handsome O now I will swear By these hilts as well as Leonardo himself Man And for that effect I have got my sword too I am lenis in puniendo but when I am provoked invenient me ●●onem they shall find me a very Lyon my schollars at Santo Burgo where I was sometimes ludimagister can yet testifie that and for my severity in castigando Probatum est Pant. Although Leonardo has got my Mistris yet I 'le have about with him albeit he be a Senatours son in law with a mischief to his heart when such Gentlemen of estates as I am shak'd off Bec. And for me since Cassio has got my Mistris let him keep her I must look out for some other great match in time for they say Manduco that now since the ●uk's restor'd they who were active in the late rebellion must be forfeit of their estates and what will become of my Patrimony then for you know my father has been a great man all this while I fear he never be so again now you know if I loss my Estate how shall I have a wife then what think you Pantaloni Pant draws Pant. Nay I can think on nothing now but how to thrust at Leonardo Bec. So I will draw too if you come to that with it Bec. draws Man And for me I love no dimication but when I am provoked I will assist you Et sic arma amens capio nec sat rationis in armis Man puts the hilts of his sword betwixt his feet and tuggs at it violently Enter Cassio Leonardo with Chrys. Mar. Cass. to Mar. Madam my resolution was alwayes unfeigned to serve you your coy refusal diminished nothing of my affection but did rather incite me the more to love you Mar. I did alwayes esteem my self honoured in your love S●r though the capricious humors of my self-seeking friends did countermand my desires Bec. runs away Man and Pant. retire to a corner of the Theatre Leon. to Chrys. Nay then unspotted beauty answer those gracious obligations your self it passes the activity of my invention I have been

at one another Cass. Well no more of that string these distracted times I fear will afford such discourses every day how does thy Mistress the Lady you know of ha Leon. Why faith as unreasonable as ever Cass. How unreasonable Leon. Yes unreasonable she will admit of no tearms whatsoever so that I fear I shall be forc'd to storm her 'slid I can have scarce liberty to survey her very parapet and out-works for fear of a thing I do not know what they mean now a dayes suspicion I think she calls it and for thee I beleeve thou art in no better condition for her Sister thy Mistress otherwayes in my opinion plyable is rul'd by her and both by an old urinal-peeping onyon-breath'd hag whom they call the Countesse of Saromanca forsooth so that now she is impregnable Cass. A devil she is 'slid I think it is become an epidemical disease amongst that sexe they intend I think to imitate the times and erect a new Commonwealth of themselves excluding all masculine society and so be call'd the new assembly of zeal-copyholders Leon. Yes yes for now they hold it a cryme to court Cass. Since Monarchy fell that trade is totally decayed thou must now either Marry at first sight or else march off as if who should throw the Dye for a maydenhead Boy Leon. Goodness I think by and by we shall be constrained to make love to one another and so thou shalt be my Mistress Cassio for our modern Criticks will not allow us womens flesh even upon holy-dayes Cass. True for all the Ladies in Florence have a spice of this disease is there no remedy for 't do'st think Leon. None but patience stay while Fortune turn up her wheel again and then the Ladyes may turn up Cass. What! their Petticoats Leon. No I have not sayd that yet I mean may smile upon us more then they do for now wee must not so much as see any Lady Cass. No why I hope they will yet admit of a visit in civility Leon. No by no means Cassio thou must not name such a heresie as a visit for thou may'st hinder other suitors Remember that Boy Cass. You say right But who comes here Leon. I think they are women Enter Chrysolina and Marionetta usher'd by Pantaloni at sight of Cass. and Leon. they pull down their vailes traverse c. Cass. Or else two things shufled in the forme of women dost know 'em Leonarde Leon. Know 'em why who can know them thus such masquerades under their vailes are like nuns at the grate they may see us but wee cannot see them Exeunt Cass. True for there is no way else to discover them but by smelling and what smell women have now a dayes faith I cannot tell Leon. Smell say'st thou they have a most acute smell a woman can now a dayes smell a mans love to her before ever possibly he be in love with any I was rejected by a lady last day before ever I knew her well yet such was the imagination that she had of my respects that she entertained her companions with the relation of my adventures for her you will think that strange Cass. Strange No faith I hope by progresse of time they will conceive by the meer wind of report and so wee shall have a hopefull race of young Florentine-jennets as light-heel'd as those of Spain I warrand yow but prethee what was that Lady you talk'd of Leon. Why the little handsome Donazella what do you call her on the other syde of the river Cass. Ho Ho I know her a noble Lady effaith but I am sorry that she is infected with that disease she seemes to have a spark of wit Leon. Tush 't is become a plague Cassio a very plague do'st not know the gentelman who was rejected of a Lady having no other evidence of his affection then the carrying of a letter from one of her friends to her wherein he was recommended to her acquaintance which as a trophee of her conquests she did impar to her hearts-conquerour and yet a Lady of admirable qualities Men now a dayes breed their female children as the Chineses do their wives or the Grand-signior his concubines close at home Cass. But prethee did'st know that same peece of foppery who attended them who by his garbe would seeme to challenge the title of a man Leon. Know him why who does not know him 't is Signior Pantaloni the rich city-gull whose golden fleece dazles the eyes of all the Ladyes in Toun to whose chamber he is almost as welcome as a young batchelour of Divinity who hath lately past his tryalls is to a zealous widow of ten months standing that would faine repeat her former allegiance and taste the game again But come you shall go along with me to the Lady Chrysolina there I hope wee shall have some favour if wee get accesse I mean Cass. I with all my heart but that 's the question Exeunt Scaena Quinta Enter Pantaloni with Chrysolina and Marionetta Pant. I take it so indeed Ladies you must excuse me if I do you the honour to visit you sometimes for my mother sayes Son saith she it is high time you were married I hope you know my meaning Chrys. Sir you shall be welcome Pant. I hope so indeed For I vow I would never desire a handsomer wife then you are I protest Mistress you are very handsome though I say it that should not say it Mar. You flatter highly Sir Pant. Not indeed Chrys. Well Sir as for your visit I shall admit it but for marriage you know Pant. Ho I know well enough you are governed by your friends but I shall tickle them I warrand you let me alone for that Mar. It is the safest way Sir Pant. So then forsooth since I know the way to your Chamber I will come and see you every day now because my mother is sick and taking physick I must go home and keep company with her else I 'l assure you I would not leave you thus farewell Exit Mar. You see them Gentlemen Cassio and Leonardo as we passed along Sister Chrys. But I hope they did not know us Sister 't is not fit we entertain them they are not matches for us Mar. But I warrand you they 'l render us a visit shortly Chrys. I should rather wish they would abstain Sister you know our friends will not rellish it well I should be very well content of this Signior Pantaloni for my husband I hope no body hears us Mar. True for although the others may be Gentelmen of good parts yet I know wee are design'd for them Signiors so the Lady Saromanca told me last day Chrys. And wee must follow their advice you know Sister Mar. Yes indeed and reason for it Enter Manduco hastily Man Hum etiam confabulantes inveni I have it in my pocket that will afford them new cogitations Chrys. Mr. Manduco you are welcome pray how does my aunt Man I have a

My Lord adieu I shall see you to morrow Exit with Jayl Marciano solus Marc. Farewell my souls delight O unkind Stars A fit theatre for such entertainement An embleme of our love But I exclaim Unseasonably O how prettily Fortune hath tyed me as a Shrove-tide bird While Saturne Mars and Cupid levell at me A fig for all her tricks I scorn her frown She can win nothing while my hearts my own Exit Scaena Septima Enter Strenuo with the Jaylor Stren.
